A controversy erupted as BJP woman MP Raksha Khadse was dubbed a 'homosexual' on a website, making state Home Minister Anil Deshmukh flay it and assert that the state would not tolerate such 'disrespectful behaviour' towards women.

Deshmukh shared a screenshot of the webpage and tweeted: "Shocking to see such a derogatory description of Raksha Khadse, BJP MP from Maharashtra on the official site of the BJP. Maha Govt. will not tolerate this disrespectful behaviour towards women."
